Toyota introduces a concept SUV with high-performance capabilities, featuring parts made through 3D printing
The Hyper-F Concept SUV has many advanced features in its design. It uses a special material called Tafnex for the front bumper and hood vents. The SUV also has air ducts on the hood that are made using 3D printing with pellets.
Toyota worked with Mitsui Chemicals and ARRK Corporation to develop this SUV. They used these new materials to make the vehicle lighter, which helps it perform better. Unlike most SUVs that have two seats, the Hyper-F Concept SUV has four sporty seats, giving more room and comfort.
TCD Asia played a big role in making this SUV. They used modern 3D printing technology, like the EXF-12 printer from ExtraBold Inc. This printer uses plastic pellets, which makes printing stable and fast. It’s great for making big parts, which cuts down on how long it takes to make them and how much it costs.
Also, this way of making things supports sustainability. The 3D-printed parts can be recycled back into pellets, which can be used to make new parts. This helps make less waste and supports eco-friendly ways in the car industry. Overall, the Hyper-F Concept SUV is a mix of new materials and modern technology. It’s made to perform better and help the environment too.
